My Pink Cadillac: A Hot Wheels 1969 Cadillac Sedan deville

Is there any Cadillac more immortalized in song than the Pink Cadillac?  I recently took my diecast Cadillac for a spin.  It's a Hot Wheels 1969 Cadillac Sedan de Ville.  In real life, this car was powered by a 7730 cc (7.7 liters or 472 cubic inch) engine!


Sometimes, it's what you see in the background that is more fun than the foreground.  As this Corvette and Black Cadillac illustrate.


This Pink Cadillac is the perfect match for our blooming Azalea bushes.


 The only question:  Which version of Pink Cadillac do you prefer?

Matchbox Monday: the Morgan AeroMax

My Morgan AeroMax is one of the glamour queens of my collection.  It always looks good.

Matchbox Morgan AeroMax
In real life, the Morgan AeroMax is powered by a 4400cc BMW V-8 engine and tops out around 170 miles per hour.  0 to 60 times are around 4 seconds!  The Matchbox version is a tad slower.  This car is a work of art!
